Saturday 28th January - Trafalgar

We didn’t get off to a great start today as we had a little domestic problem when about a gallon of water (~4.5 litres to you young’uns) was pumped into the caravan when a water pipe came adrift.  Clearing up involved taking up part of the flooring to dry it out.  Ah! well no lasting damage.
We were going to Cadiz today, but by the time we’d sorted out the leak there wasn’t sufficient time so we decided to go to Trafalgar, which is close by and we’d heard was very nice.





There were a number of camper vans parked on the roadside near the beach at Trafalgar, and pretty much all of them driven by surfers and when we got on the beach we saw why.  There were also quite a number of nice looking bars and eateries along the road leading to the beach.











Trafalgar was a brilliant place to visit with lovely sunny sandy beaches and today some great rolling surf.












The place is, of coarse, well known from a British (and Spanish and French) history perspective and there is a small understated plaque overlooking the water.







We walked up to the lighthouse (faro) and sat and watched the surfers before heading back across the dunes.
